- In this episode I hike up into the mountains to go trout fishing & camping! Little did I know I would learn how to catch crawdads as well. After a night of crayfish fishing, I hikes up to some more lakes, where I show you how to catch trout in the mountains, and after a successful excursion, we return to camp for a delicious trout catch & cook, and crawfish boil. For more Washington State fishing, trout catch, clean cook, crawfish catch & cook, and much more:

I am 73 yo this March and I have back trouble, so, walking and hiking is difficult for this old guy. I will not begrudge you for the enjoyment you receive from your efforts. Just thank you for taking me with you to enjoy these beautiful lakes, fish, wildlife, and outdoors. My memories of doing this are still intact and I can feel it all. Even taste the fish remotely. How Wonderful. Peace be with you, my friend. Hike on.
I hope all is well for you in these trying times, man.
Bless u also richard
Bless your soul Richard you and all outdoor enthusiasts are the heart and soul of why this is still happening so thank you for your years of exploration but I have to agree this is almost like being there. Stay young at heart my brother.
What do you mean
@@brendafisher7624 he means he enjoy watching his videos :/
Hey man, if you are actually in Washington there are no mudpuppy’s. It’s really an incredibly rare Cope’s Giant Salamander and only a few adults have been observed in the wild! You should contact the university biology department with this footage! Super cool.
Andrew Alexander thanks man! I was definitely mistaken thinking it was a Mudpuppy. For sure a Cope’s Giant. I might reach out to them! 👍
Wow that’s true? I’m from Washington.
We always used to visit lakes near Mt Rainier.. one time we caught a giant salamander on crawfish bait! It looked just like the salamander in the video and it was the only time we ever saw it! Amazing!
They look exactly like mud puppies we have here in southwestern Ontario. They are extremely common here though. Always stealing your catfish rigs. You have to watch out for the mud pups!
@@NWFishingSecrets Dood thats so cool! reach out to them ! BTW great channel ... At first I didnt like you ... then I realized it was because you reminded me of me and I was jealous you were doing so much stuff I dream of doing !
You are lucky to see one!
I can see why he has so many close encounters with nature he's literally the definition of kindness and respect for nature
Facts what a good dude

You are more than welcome. Thank you for enjoying!
@@NWFishingSecrets u notice the person in front of you at 1:23 ?
For real! Always exiting!💯
You're a Disney princess and you don't even know it.
I'm really jealous with all the stuff you're encountering there in the wild. It's so serene.
I wish that we had this kind of wilderness here in the 🇵🇭. So freaking beautiful.
Mag camping kana rin paps gloco then catch and cook hehe angas nun
This was just what I was thinking. I gotta get outside more again

This dude is gifted, nature seems to love him
I think its cuss he takes care of nature too, he cleans nature all the time 👍
Trust in Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, Amen and Amen
@@juanit0tackit0tackito2 Amen!🙌✝️❤
You honestly inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things when it comes to fishing and being outdoors. You taught me how to go out and eat what I catch, and to not be afraid to do new things. Thank you, and keep up the amazing work man.
That means so much to hear... 🤙 🎣 Life is all about trying new things and living just outside of that comfort zone. Sure, we'll fall - but the rewards are always worth it!
@@NWFishingSecrets I agree 100% my dad took me up until i was maybe 10 i am now mid 30s. Trying again.
THAT IS THE COOLEST FOOTAGE OF A WILD AXOLOTL I'VE EVER SEEN... we owned 2 small ones for a long time, never got to hand feed one.... that is nothing short of AMAZING!!
Not an axolotl
@@fishbikehike look it up

Magical flower is called Beargrass.
My 3.5 year old son really loves your videos. I've been struggling to find appropriate content while limiting screen time during lockdown. Your videos are super, educational, fun and really appropriate. I love how you narrate your process. I also like how youre really respectful of your catches. He wants a fishing rod now!
youtube kids, problem solved
I wish my little sister would watch stuff like this and not Sssniperwolf😂
Just discovered his channel while sick in bed with my 4 and 5 year old. They loved all but the crawdad cooking part
@@QuackCow144 youtube kids doesnt teach shit tho
@@smoke...... teach them yourself, find tv shows, or get books, problem solved
When you see a mudpuppy in your area it means you have a clean and healthy ecosystem.
Kleryat B they normall live in caves but yes
Dailyautomotives 8 they live in water not caves
@@Ad.312 just only mainly found in a cave system. U right tho its the water that matters

I want to boop it is all i care about. I know it is a bad idea and i wouldn't but i really want to
Special stuff, brother. I remember getting up before dawn to get to the fishing site. My grandfather would cook breakfast...completely dark. It was my first taste of coffee...mostly milk and sugar, but hey. We would be the first ones there, and could barely see our bobbers. Still waters... only the birds and mist until the sun started to rise. Your vids take me back there. Thanks!
You deserve a million subs. You're content is high quality, footage is beautiful, and you put alot of effort into your videos

Hey i recommend to try a polymer knot!!its whats i use.
its just nice to come across a genuine channel, cheers!
haha thank you man 🤙 🎣
Cheers
How come nobody’s talking about how he made friends with a mudpuppy or whatever it was and a bird?
It’s a copes giant salamander
They are called axolotl they are now rare because Spain drained the lakes they live in in Mexico
@ye son axolotes y están en peligro de extinción
@@rldrax7066 nope axolotl those are cope giant salamanders. Axolotl don't live in America naturally
@@LeuBlue definitely an axolotl.
Its not always about catching the fish, but the beauty of nature, the actions of fishing, the hike, the sounds, the smells, the memories all rolled up into one great adventure. Thanks just love your vids
My 2 and a half year old son Varsel loves this video. He tells me every day when I get home from work that he wants fishing videos. He loves the channel and my daughter Elsie loves it as well. We watch as a family and my kids learn along with you and I. Keep doing what your doing!! We live in vancouver Washington and fish all over and we just appreciate what your doing. It has helped me with depression as well. Tight lines man!
That’s so awesome!
Hope the world getting better Chris 🙏
From Bali We pray for u and u'r familly too...God always with me and always with u🙏
This is the fastest growing fishing channel I've ever seen. I subbed at 500. Then you grew to 1000. Then 10,000. Then 50,000. Now 100,000. You are a lucky man.
Lol I noticed the same thing
Haha thank you man! I'm so thankful to have the most amazing & loving fans in the world. Couldn't do this without you guys!!! 🎣🏔 🏕 🎉
First
Love from Kisii,Kenya
Yeah he definitely deserves every sub and hope it continues to grow at this rate
Feeding the lil salamander like fish with a crawdad was a signal for an instant subscribe and like ;D
😂 you’re the man!
Thats more like an axolth
Yes it's an axolotl not a salamander
@@GameBoyPlayz I’m sorry you didn’t understand what I was trying to say.
@@GameBoyPlayz that my friend is a mudpuppy, not an axolotl, and is actually a type of salamander.
You are so nice to animals I think they know that you are a good person
Your videos inspired my young son to get into fishing with me, and motivated both my kids to finally eat fish-aaaaaand they love it! We cook it just like you-lots of butter and just salt (we're partial to Icelandic sea salt lol). Thanks so much!
That is awesome! 🎣❤️ Love hearing that it's become a family activity for you and that the kids are enjoying it! You're forgiven on the Icelandic salt 😂
Dude this guy is amazing He's always so positive and is pretty concerned about the fish's well-being and he is a person with such a big ❤️
When a fisherman says just a few casts, he really means about 500 casts
Shhhhhhhhh My wife's watching
@@fishhuntgrow7727 don't I know the feeling!
Depends where you fish and what you fish for most places i go it only takes a few casts to catch something.
@@dwhit6529 few, so 500?
@@xdostarlingx3620 No lol depends some days i will catch next to nothing other days i can catch dozens of walleye, crappy, carp, musky, pike, bass. Just depends on where and for what. When i go fishing for steel head at lake erie sometimes that can take awhile and sometimes it doesn't. When you have a boat with fish finder and down scanner hard not to catch fish honestly.
I love how grateful he is for what he catches
Makes me smile watching your vids. Spent a lot of time doing same when I was your age backpacking with my wife & kids. Found one of the best things to catch mountain trout was to use a clear H2O filled casting bubble with a mosquito pattern dry fly slowly retrieved. Give it a shot!
Those bubbles with a fly combo are great for mountain trout, also great for fishing small creeks. I've done well with pistol Pete flies fished behind a bubble
100k! Such a big milestone! Your channel has been growing insanely fast man! Congratulations! You deserve it!
Thank you so much!!! Huge milestone, and I'm just endlessly thankful for everyone's love and support 🤙🎣 Fish on!!!
Watching from Mount Vernon WA! BINGE WATCHING BRO!
That lizard is called a mud puppy
Nvm I see you know
Yeah honestly GG 😂
Man is just living life, enjoying every minute of your videos, just makes the days better.
I love that mountain cloud, awesome
This was one of my favorite videos. Beautiful scenery, awesome wildlife, and crawdads!
I love seeing all the fallen trees and logs. Just something about it.
Stay true. You don’t need the sponsors if you don’t want them. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. People watch you because you are true to yourself and your followers!
I feel like this video showed all of us your heart. You’re so nice to animals. You’re nice to the environment. You are so positive and such a nice person. Definitely keep up these amazing videos bro! MAJOR SUPPORT BRO
So cool to hand feed the ancient creature. Love your channel ,great scenery.
It was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. Thanks man 🎣 🏔
Never been into catch and cook videos but this guy has such a deep love and respect for nature, and makes some dang tasty looking food!
"I will set down my fishing pole in respect for this toilet"...Got me cracking up every time.
😜 🚽
This guy is like everyone’s best friend, the mudpuppy and the bird 😂
and the crayfish and the fish too
I just found out your channel yesterday and lemme tell you that this is one of the best channels on youtube. I have been marathoning your videos since yesterday and i aint stopping 😂 the energy you give out is amazing and it makes me happy also. Keep going man the 1mill subs is coming MARK MY WORDS ON THAT!!
Haha thank you so much for the kind words! I'm just glad people enjoy the videos!!! 🎣🏕
holy shite! the youtube fishing community is the most wholesome community ever!!
Couldn’t ask for a better community to be a part of 👍🏻
It's rare I find fishing channels I can actually tolerate
You have achieved a state of euphoria that athletes experience when playing their favorite sport.
No feeling like it, time stops and no longer exists anymore.
30secs into his video: I LOVE THIS DUDE
youre the reason why america is great. keep up the great work! i love you!
I like how humble he is and I love his magnum
You’re like a young outdoor fisherman Bob Ross and I’m here for it

My favorite thing about you is that you enjoy the little thing in life that many other people don’t see like me but you have brought me to a state of enjoying seeing what you see and letting me have a better life thank you 🙏 and keep up the great work
This guy needs his own Discovery Channel Tv show
Been here since 8k I’ll be here till 1mill love u man
Thank you brother - I love you too 👊 🎣
10:40 Cutest thing when he floated up
Alisa it kinda looks like he will brake its neck
I love the surf and surf catch and cooks. Makes me hungry every time
Been living in the pacific NW my whole life and finally getting into sport fishing, love your videos man, big motivation for me to learn, can't wait to catch and cook something for the wife and I!
About the crayfish: before you cook them they need to be "châtrées" (not too sure what this is called in English) : while holding it with a towel, at the "fan" at the end of the tail, grab the middle scale, give it a quarter turn left and then right, then pull it out. That will get the intestine out at the same time. Then then you can rub the "slime" with the towel (it will be pretty cooperative after being châtrée). Then cook it as you like.
Thanks I’ll look into this
This is no way to cook a "mudbug."
This was one of the most entertaining catch and cooks I’ve seen
I agree
Whenever i feel like going to the mountain and i couldnt . I just watch your videos and it make me feel better
Cope's Giant Salamander if I remember right and they're quite uncommon especially the size of the one you found! Been in the NW my whole life and have yet to see one in person yet. Next time you're in that region check out Schaefer lake for some monster trout. Its a gnarly hike and can usually only get to it in august/september but 100% worth it
Good call. Someone mentioned mudpuppy but that's probably a related species since its native habitat is the Eastern half of the country.
Yeah, not 100% sure! It definitely looks like the shape of a Common Mudpuppy, but the coloration is definitely closer to the Cope's Giant Salamander! It was my first time this up and close with one. Maybe his first time around a human as well judging by how laid back he was!! 😂 Will definitely try and make a trip up to Schaefer! Thank you! 🎣
Its a axolotl
Like no joke
Daejean Carter shit I just googled it ur right 100%
You were alone ? Yet you were able to took several shoots from several point of views ? With that rocky hike ??? Wow, your dedication 👏🏻👏🏻
When I saw the bird being friendly, this shows how peacefull that environment really is, this made me happy to see.🤗 Great videos👍🏻
Don't know why, but this makes me extremely happy
I'm binge watching all your episodes after discovering you a week ago and this is one of the most beautiful lakes you've been to yet! We've been to some pretty ones here in Oregon, but that establishing shot of the foggy lake? Epic!
Dude, great video! Also, where is this place?! It's gorgeous
Hey man, just wanna say I love your videos. He is in the alpines of Washington State. Hope this helps!
Yay
Hey Bob I love ur vids peace out
Pleasant surprise seeing you here
Dude this is the paradise
25:49 he literally said " here are the taxes authorities" in french
hahaha j'écoutais sans regarder j'me suis demandé comment ça le fisc en pleine nature ?
@@Etupao bhahaha, le fisc est partout
😂😂😂😂😂
I love how this dude describes food it is amazing descriptive and a little funny
Your channel is so relaxing man, I'm glad I found it 🤎
It’s a axolotl this is so cool you got to experience that lol 😂
@Dennis Beaulieu we all them noots😂
Axolotls are only found in a lake in Mexico City.
It's a mudpuppy Google it cuz axalotles are so much smaller than the mudpuppys
He beat Minecraft to their update
yeah its a mudpuppy (as stated 10:42). mudpuppies are not related to axelotl but they do look a like.
"I'm usually not a baby eater, but I'm going to eat him"

Man, you are literally father nature. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us! God bless!

Pete Wallmann 😂 🤤
NW Fishing Secrets sweet channel man, tight lines 🤙
2:06 is the reason I’m rewatching this video
Are you....a Disney Princess? Asking for a friend 😂
When you bonked the fish and the hook popped off 😂😂
Dude I couldn't believe it! all three hooks! 😂
Yo Samong im watching your vids too
Hey Leif, crazy to see how much better your video quality is now compared to this vid(no hate of course)!! These alpine mountain video can never get old, can’t wait to get back out there in the spring. Thank you for making video’s!!🤙
As a first time viewer, I honestly didn't expect to see the fish getting bonked. Made me laugh.
Love the way you respect nature wish more people were like us
This is the first video I’ve seen from you. So glad I clicked. You got my sub. Can’t wait for the next video. Grats on 100k!
Thank you! Glad you found the channel! Can't wait to share the next 🤙 🎣
I'm seeing a lot of "happy little trees" and "titanium white and phthalo blue"
SOMEONE HIT 100K TODAY IM SO PROUD OF YOU *kisses camera*
Haha thank you!! 🎉 🎣
I love watching these videos in the morning. Wish I was there rather then the office. Cant wait for the snow to melt.
Me “why’s the scenery look so similar to Oregon just a tad bit rockier”
*finds out it’s just Washington*
Don’t be mean to my state ;-;
"Just" Washington boi you act like we dont got nearly 2x the ammount of people, as well as Starbucks and Microsoft
At least we don't have portland 😂
7:46 Don't even get me started on MREs. Try a creamy spinach fettuccine, the crackers are the least of your worries.
😂 I’ll be sure to try that one!!
No no, hit up the new pizza! It's trash.
Jon Ricketts or the vommelete
Roberto cruz no joke that one is terrible.
NW fishing secrets Best ones to try are chicken burrito bowl or hash brown potatoes with bacon.
congrats, brah! remember us OGs when you hit 1 mil.
I'll remember everyone making this happen man 👊 🎣 Thank you brother!
Yessir
🙌
My backpacking crew and I started watching your video after catching crawdads up in the PNW mountains and realized we are legit at the same lake AND pitched at the same site.
No over react, that how i like this guy..
“I dropped the other claw...” you can’t get any dramatic than that.😝
Great video.
LoL at the majestic flowers, they seem everywhere following your journey around the beautiful lake. The axolotl and the friendly bird also make a great show... What a lovely life you got there, I'm happy yet kinda envy you at the same time! Be safe always!
"We're gonna cut off a little, tiny, bit of butter..."
Translation: quarter stick of butter
I love that he’d rather walk a mile rather than just change lures 😂😂
He was probably looking to to go for a nice hike anyways ☺️
dude i live just ½ a mile from were thy make the salt ( læsø salt ) Peace out from denmark :)
Det er nu også en dejlig ø, jeg var med min folkeskole deroppe engang. Og der var vi ude og syde salt, og vi sov derude. Det var mega hygge 😀
i have been watching your videos foe a couple of days now good stuff people have forgotten how beautiful this country is thank u for reminding us is it great to turn on utube and see positive content like you are showing 2 thumbs up brother looking forward to many more ,,,
Just binge watched your library, you are awesome, LOVE your personality, optimism & happiness not to mention how much effort you put into these from pre cam setup & your editing is GREAT! Keep up the good work brotha! Looking forward to many more vids & hope you stay in the game!
Hey Leif, so stoked to see the massive following 🙌. You're so authentic and that always wins in life. Loved this episode! The trout are Interior Redband variety and are very common 👍
Thank you Tom! I'm just so stoked to be able to show off the beauty we have in this State and that it's grown into such a large community is just unbelievable. Interesting on the Redbands! Still a lot more Trout species on thhe bucket list!
You’re just outside of where I live! Chelan county has some of the most beautiful hikes in the entirety of the Northwest!
Nw has taught me a lot I was out fishing alone with my friend and we caught a trout and scenic he completely swallowed the hook we bonked him. And I used his cleaning technique. My point is the he has taught me how to clean a fish and how to respectfully take them out fast
You can always tell a good person by how animals approach them
He can make better food in the mountains than I can at home lol
the hyperlapse of the fog!! that was such a sick shot!!! when you were first on the rock with the fog in the back was an awesome shot too. looked like you were in space hahah
Watching to the end is not a problem, I just want to watch more, it helps me escape from concrete hell. Love your videos!!
What the heck!! I've never seen a Mudpuppy before!!! I want to meet one too!
I so hope you get the chance to meet one. It was an amazing experience ❤️
This looks so fun too bad my anxiety would keep me from going in the woods alone 😂
Who's gonna carry the boats.
I’ve never seen a crawdad be cooked. That transition to red was fast! Amazing content as always man!
Thank you so much for these videos. It has given me more incentive and guts to go out and fish more myself. Keep living the dream. Fish on baby.
"I'm usually not a baby eater" 🤣🤣
Love the outsides keep up the good work.
That place is really beautiful.
🤣
